Ubisoft is reportedly developing a new third-person shooter called Pathfinder that is PvPvE, according to three sources who spoke with Exputer.
Images and videos provided to the site reveal the art style of Pathfinder is similar to Hyper Scape. Ubisoft is set to shut down the free-to-play fast-paced urban battle royale first-person shooter later this month on Thursday, April 28, which is less than two years after it first released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in August 2020.
Pathfinder is described as a different take on the battle royale genre, where a team of four players will start on a map and need to find their way towards the center to fight an AI boss. Players will need to find their way through an outer wall and an inner wall that have gates in order to get to the boss. In each match the gates that can be broken into and ones that are locked change every match.
Players as they make their way to the boss will fight AI enemies to level up and get stronger. As the players get closer to the boss the AI enemies will get more difficult.

I just want a good sci-fi SINGLE PLAYER linear TPS again. 7th gen was full of them. Bring them back. Enough Royal garbage. Enough multiplayer only garbage.
PVPVE is one of the worst concepts I've ever seen for gaming, because it's obvious you want the PVE audience, but at the same time you don't want them to have fun, so you forcefully pair them up with and against PVP players.
This is why I dropped HUNT, because while I did love that game's atmosphere and visuals/AI, I got quickly fed up of the AI/bosses being used as distractions for me to get gutted by campers and die-hard PVP players.
Just pick one or the other, stop clearly wanting PVP and also wanting PVE players as cannon fodder for PVP's.
Yay...........I personally couldn't care less about Ubisoft's super formulaic games these days outside of Mario + Rabbids. If you're into their games, more power to you and I hope you enjoy them.
The last 2 Rayman games have been mobile titles. I loved the last proper Rayman game with Legends but that's almost 9 years old at this point lol. Plus the studio that makes Rayman games has been stuck in development hell with Beyond Good and Evil 2 lol
You might be on to something on that one xD but the Ubisoft of 10 years ago is far from the Ubisoft of now. Ubisoft is up there with one of the top trend chasers in the industry. So if by some miracle a proper Rayman game is made, I have a horrible feeling we'll get all the tropes Ubisoft adds in their games nowadays. I only have faith in Mario + Rabbids because there's no way in hell Nintendo is going to let them soil their IP lol
